The TORL league is fortunate to have three All-Star teams this season. The Debs (ages 16-23) and the Juniors (ages 14-15) we've already talked about. This year a Tween division has been added to the nationals and TORL has iced the first Tween AA team in the valley. All three teams will play a three game mini tournament in Enderby later this season against the Lower Mainland for the right to represent BC at the Canadian National Championships in Halifax.
Fundraising will be ongoing throughout the season to offset ice, eqipment and travel costs. The teams are planning on entering the Golden Ring tournament in Calgary to play against some of the other all-star teams from accross Canada.
If you would like to help out in support of either of the teams it would be appreciated. Information and contacts will be posted at a later date.
Good luck to all of the teams this season.
